I also didn’t use Nutella. I used this – which I’m assuming is the same thing (“nocciole” meaning hazelnut) , only a little more pricey – an item I bought at Castroni’s in Rome essentially because I liked the packaging. Really. I don’t care about Nutella. I like retro packaging, that’s all.

Nutella is one of the great mysteries of the universe along with the guilting power in Nancy Grace’s eyebrows even when you put her cable show on mute. But Nutella is a good mystery. I love it and never buy it ( like canned cranberries in the berry form which I love and never buy) and I admire whoever thought of putting chocolate with hazelnuts because it would never have occurred to billions of us throughout history… but it works.
